Boyfriend, Blue, Ripped, Skinny, Fitted, and Flared… the
list of these magical jeans seems endless and timeless and so easily turned up.
If you are a shorty like myself this is a very handy trick that thankfully has
been back in Vogue for a couple of seasons now, to turn up the bottom of your
jeans is A-okay now and no longer a ‘geeky’ ‘out of style’ move to attempt.

Or so they tell me.

Either way it’s
wonderful because as a short stack I’m forever in the petite section of
clothing stores and even then all
jeans end up being just that little bit too long for me if I want to wear
flats, it’s a nightmare! So this little trick is so welcomed in the house of
EIC, and it’s fantastic that the already pre-turned jean are made ready-to-wear
in most high street shops now, ranging from +New Look to @H&M to +Topshop and
beyond. They look amazing with heels or wedges (or wedge trainers if you feel
so inclined) and of course my cherished and comfy flats.

So what are the best of the best?

New Look are good at the turn, those their range a little
more on the bigger turn up than say Topshop’s LEIGH jean – it sits pre-turned
and tiny at the ankle. But if you want them higher up, it’s an easy fix if they
aren’t the super skinny type of material – you know the kind that feels like a
second skin and makes you feel every single calorie you’ll intake that day?

Yeah, that kind.

I do love them though, and my favourite would have to be the
LEIGH from Topshop. As a very recent Topshop jean convert I can say that. Because
for years it was a shop I only spent money in if it was on much needed
accessories (or their amazing makeup
line!) but very rarely did I gravitate toward their casual clothing lines, I don’t
know why, but the homeless hipster vibe they give off isn’t really my thing
over all.

BUT their jeans are just amazeballs, with the LEIGH winning out in my
mind (or my legs, if you prefer) and I live in my various pairs.
